RHEL 7

On a server host that has Internet access, use a command line editor to perform the following steps:

  1. Log in to your host as root.

  2. Download the Ambari repository file to a directory on your installation host.

    wget -nv http://public-repo-1.hortonworks.com/ambari/centos7-ppc/2.x/updates/2.6.1.0/ambari.repo -O /etc/yum.repos.d/ambari.repo
    [Important]Important

    Do not modify the ambari.repo file name. This file is expected to be available on the Ambari Server host during Agent registration.

  3. Confirm that the repository is configured by checking the repo list.

    yum repolist

    You should see values similar to those in the following table for the Ambari repository listing.

    The values in this table are examples. Your version values depend on your installation.

    repo id

    repo name

    status

    AMBARI.2.6.1.0-2.x

    Ambari 2.x

  4. Install the Ambari bits.

    yum install ambari-server
  5. Enter y when prompted to confirm transaction and dependency checks.

    A successful installation displays output similar to the following:

    Accept the warning about trusting the Hortonworks GPG Key. That key will be automatically downloaded and used to validate packages from Hortonworks. You will see the following message:

    Importing GPG key 0x07513CAD: Userid: "Jenkins (HDP Builds)

[Note]Note

When deploying HDP on a cluster having limited or no Internet access, you should provide access to the bits using an alternative method.

Ambari Server by default uses an embedded PostgreSQL database. When you install the Ambari Server, the PostgreSQL packages and dependencies must be available for install. These packages are typically available as part of your Operating System repositories. Please confirm you have the appropriate repositories available for the postgresql-server packages.
